Summary
It started as a quiet session in the far garden, where Mother sometimes taught them seidr when the weather was good and the court was elsewhere. Nearby, the fountain’s steady trickle was the only sound besides the soft rustle of leaves stirred by a gentle breeze. Thor crouched across from Loki, both seated on worn stones, a shallow bowl of water between them to focus their magic. Loki’s illusion hovered neatly above his reflection: a falcon, wings shifting with the wind. Thor’s image was unstable, lightning flashing in the wrong places, the shape flickering and faltering.
“Try again,” Loki said, voice tight with exasperation but softened by patience. “You’re thinking too loud again. Feel it. Less thunder, more thread.”
“I am feeling it,” Thor snapped, running a hand through his damp hair, heat rising under his skin. The image collapsed with a hiss of steam. “It doesn’t stay.”
Loki groaned, rising with a frustrated sigh. “You’re pushing it, not shaping it. It’s like trying to paint with a hammer.”
“Maybe that’s all I have,” Thor muttered, voice low, breath uneven. “Maybe I’m not meant for this.”
